5.3. Upper Division Track Options

Following are several Upper Division Track options. In addition to these tracks, a custom track can be developed in close consultation with the Computer Science Advisor. A custom track will typically be interdisciplinary, but in all cases will differ substantially from any existing track. In order to maintain coherence and depth, students cannot choose a custom track for the purpose of substituting courses that appear as part of an existing track. Track approval will only be given for cohesive custom tracks that are not duplicated by an existing track.
